One Step Update - Navigation Cancelled

edited February 9 in Download, Add/Update Accounts (Windows)

Version R65.29. Just upgraded to Windows 11. Downloaded and installed Quicken on new PC.

Context: Trying to update transactions via the Online Update functionality on the Home Screen.

Issue: The button, Update Now on the Home screen, returns a pop-up window (with the quicken icon) titled," Navigation Canceled". On this window, the text reads, "Navigation to the webpage was cancelled. What you can try: Refresh the page."

Clicking on the active link to "Refresh the page" displays another window referencing the web address http://qw.exe and an option to search for this site on Bing. Searching for this file provides no results.

Add'l Info: After several attempts the update process may, or may not, begin.

Any ideas of how l can start using Quicken again to download transactions trouble free?

Thanks.

    Hello @20Jk23,

    Thank you for reaching out! To help troubleshoot, please provide more information.

    There are a few different ways to initiate account updates from the home screen in Quicken. Which one are you using?

    Do you get the same result when attempting to update via any of the other methods? For example, the One Step Update icons near the top of the Accounts bar, the Update Now link on the Dashboard, or Tools>One Step Update?

    If you have automatic entry turned off, there is also the One Step Update icon near the upper right of the Downloaded Transactions section.

    Since you mentioned you recently installed Quicken, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling, in case the issue is being caused by something that didn't install properly?

    I look forward to your reply!

    For updating, I usually use the "Update Now" button on the Home screen. When clicking on the Update Now button, it returns the web page, "Navigation Cancelled".

    Clicking on the One Step Update, with the revolving circle, I get a drop down menu. On this menu, only the One Step Update is "active" and it looks like will allow for the one-by-one updating of transactions by selecting individual accounts; (I've selected one for a trial with no issues); all other options on this menu seem to be "bricked".

    Clicking on the "gear" icon, crashes Quicken, so I avoid that.

    As for reinstalling, yes, I've done so but only once.

    Thanks for the reference to the One Step Update available through the Tools menu. That seems to work.

    Thank you for your reply,

    I'm glad to hear that at least one of those options seems to work.

    Since reinstalling the program didn't resolve the issues you describe, and I can't replicate them in my Quicken file, the problem may be file-specific. To troubleshoot file issues, I suggest you validate your data file.  Please save a backup file prior to performing these steps. 

    Validate: 

    1. File
    2. Validate and Repair File... Validate and repair.png
    3. Validate File
    4. Click OK
    5. Close the Data Log
    6. Close Quicken (leave it closed for at least 5 secs)
    7. Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.

    Let me know how it goes!

    Often the "Navigation to the webpage was cancelled" error is caused by corruption of Quicken's internal web browser cache.

    If you close Quicken then use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Programdata\Quicken and rename the Cache folder. The Programdata folder is hidden by default. If you do not see it in Windows Explorer, click on the View menu, select Show, and select Hidden items. If Quicken does not find the Cache folder, it will create a new one.

    Please let us know if this resolves the problem.
